Greetings. I have the leaked version OS 1762 on my Z10 but I would like to use the official release that came out today. I have tried doing factory reset through link, security wipe without link, tried restoring from an old backup, but nothing seems to get me away from OS 1762. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I am very confused as to why I cannot go back to factory settings.
Rerun the autoloader for 1762, when it is in the write process unplug your device, effectively soft bricking it. Reconnect soft bricked device to computer and restore through link, it should bring you directly to official 10.1 and if not it'll be official 10.0 than you can OTA to 10.1
just to confirm this method works perfectly.
thanks for advice, i will try this method when i get home tonight after work....cheers
I can also confirm this method works. Kinda scary though.

not so scary just different way of doing thing
Works like a charm, on 10.1.0.237 now with Bell in Ontario
When you brick a phone on purpose, that's scary in my books! :)

how would it be different if you use the BB website to do the same thing ( web update ) but you don't see it happening
and it is the same way when you do a computer restore ( remove everything that was written to rewrite the software )
Web update doesn't work to load a prior OS over the beta. Web update also doesn't brick your phone first before updating it.
The process of unplugging a device in the middle of a system load to brick it should not be something anyone should take lightly.
